But many districts / cities in Riau Province in leaders in the implementation of government, development particular do not register villages in their areas to be and service to the community, which is caused by the more established as customary villages. One of them is Kuantan complex life order in the community as the influence of Singingi District which until now still conducts assessment urbanization of the population from other regions. and identification of the right of village origin to be Indigenous villages have a function to organize the life of established as Indigenous Village. There are several the community as a unity of the legal community related to dynamics that occurred in the formation of Adat Village in customary law and culture and can be the basis for the Kuantan Singingi Regency such as : smooth implementation of governance and development 1. The absence of a regulation at the Provincial implementation.

If the issuance of Regulation of Regency Ministry of Internal Affair and Regulation at Riau Province The dynamics of the formation of traditional level related to Indigenous Village which regulate the villages are interpreted by the differences of perspective institutional formation of Indigenous Village, then the and conflict of interest from each of the actors involved in process of Indigenous village arrangement can be done. The establishing Indigenous Village either from the local Indigenous village arrangement can only be implemented if government, legislative, or community leaders and regulation has been made by regency either regulation or traditional leaders. In addition, the time constraint of regent regulation governing the technical implementation of formation also gives a big influence on the readiness of the Indigenous.

The lack of quality proposals from the Indigenous Village by the Government on top of it related village government and the community for the formation to the formation of Indigenous Village, and the change of of Indigenous also became one of the factors that caused status of Indigenous Village. Based on Permendagri No. 1 the formation of Indigenous Village in Kuansing Regency. of 2017 emphasizes that Provincial Bylaws serve as In addition, many argue that the formation of customary guidelines for District/Municipal Governments in villages needs an in-depth assessment considering what determining district/ municipal regulations governing kind of customary village is to be applied?
